WTF @EbayIndia Account Suspended for Writing a Positive Blog Post for their Service

Ebay India about which I had written a article on a comparison with Olx.in here – Why OLX.in is not a Safe Place to Buy & Sell compared to Ebay.in seem to have taken up the article with wrong perception. I have been a regular buyer on Ebay India and have even sold products but not regularly and my reputation can clearly give more idea on the same.

Been a member from 2008 and only 1 negative feedback which was also given by a buyer who actually blackmailed for additional discount after receiving the package and sadly because of the ebay policies even though I had won the “case” with him, he was able to add a negative feedback and ebay team suggested to ignore it.

Recently I had tried to purchase a Digital Camera and the payment processor failed, following which I had to make three tries to make the payment and finally it worked following which the order was confirmed. We had been charged with a total of Rs 6476 and the seller had confirmed that the package is on the way.

Next day i tried to login to my account to track the package to find that it was blocked.

The above note clearly says that we need to first check out the account information section and find if there are any pending invoices and a quick check there showed that I had a Credit Balance in my account rather than any pending payments.

Clearly no pending payments, a regular buyer and no multiple accounts maintained, a genuine story around them on this blog and finally what I get is the account blocked without any valid reason and the funds also blocked. I gave a quick call to the customer support, who asked me to email the story to “inrswebhelp@ebay.com”. An email was sent and a response was received, which is shown below.

The above response clearly shows that ebay has no answer to why the account has been suspended and probably the title of this answer can only suggest the same. Waiting for some positive response from Team Ebay India and a refund of the payments been made for the recent order.

Please Tweet this link to the @EbayIndia Team and help me in getting an actual answer to this issue.

finally you’ve faced the same problem which i faced few month back with mostly the same reason…they kept my money for two months and after a lot of harassment i was able to release that fund.
for god sake i would suggest peoples to avoid them as now days many good online shopping site has been released
no one gonna give a damn to their stupid policies and nonsense reasons.
i was a student and i was selling stuffs for my pocket money, had very good seller reputations on the site with only few 2-3 negative feedbacks.
and they did permanent suspension by giving some stupid nonsense reason, according to them i had violated their terms
huhh !
you should have actually mentioned that why ebay is not safe as compare to other shopping sites
and let ebay ready my comment first then i will tell them how cheap they are..

Amit I don’t think that eBay would suspend your or any other blogger’s account who have written positive review about their business because before suspension or appraisal every firm go through the article and nature of that article.

Hi all,
Ebay is one of the WORST site i have ever seen. they are number one Buggers. They will cheat the people like anything. you will get Refurbished or not in good condition items from them, no need to worry about that site. online shopping sites are so many are there so Think that they helped you to Suspend your account. Say thanks to Ebay to suspand your account. No need to worry. Compared to other online shopping websites these ppl will cheat more and more. Cool and have a fun..

It seems that the services of Ebay are getting worst day by day. Now it seems Indian service providers have become better and others will soon be overtaking it. Well very shocked after hearing the fact about you Ebay accoun being blocked even you gave a positive response.

Amit, don’t sweat! Ebay and their little sister Paypal are the BIGGEST thieves in the eWorld. I was a Paypal user years ago and they withheld my US $7000 for 6 months. No reason was given why they held my money. NOTHING. I filed many complaints, I even logged a complaint with BBB but to no avail. Had to wait 180 days. They had to release my funds, so they did. But lesson learned. EBay/Paypal, you can KMA! You may have held my money for 6 months to earn a little interest but for the life of me, YOU LOST a good customer who will go tweet, blog and facebook about your notorious business policies. Your unscrupulous business ethics are par with a roadside BHAIYA .. and that is how I will treat you! I’m happier with MoneyBookers and 2CO.com .. they get my business and you get the biggest finger on my hand .. Up yours .. Thank you for nothing!

Am in the same boat as you mate and since your blog seems popular, is it possible to post my ebay grievance through here. They have blocked my account and my paisapay remittance of Rs. 76,903 is stuck with them. Have been trying to contact them but their CC is very rude and they are not willing to help. I was supposed to be paid on 11 Nov, 2014 but even today (02.12.2014), no remittance though my status now says remittance due on 01 Dec, 2014.

The sad part is they have not mentioned any reason for suspension except for Buyer-Seller fraudulent activity. All my buyers have confirmed receipt and given feedback for the phones that I sold but these buggers are not helping the matters out. If you log into ebay forum, you will see that many are in the same boat and these scammers retain our interest free money for months together without any resolution. If you could contact, will provide you with all screenshots of transactions, if needed as we have to fight their system.

PS: I came here to seek out your help and was surprised to see that even you have been suspended!
